Hiyas,
I have a little studio with a friend.. we both put all our equipment in together. The problem is the mixer just sucks. I hate it. I've been trying to learn how to use this thing for six months now and I still don't get it plus the darn thing is so old it is noisy and unreliable. It is a Allen and Heath CMC series. It makes me want to throw things. Sometimes I get frustrated and just start pushing the g'zillions of buttons at random hoping some sound will come out of the thing. It only has eight channels and eight returns too. But it's an 8 buss anyway.
I would like to buy a new mixer and I love the Tascam 312/320 and 512/520 but the things are so effing big and heavy no one seems to want to ship them. They seem soooooo much like they would be easier to use though. I played with the 320 at school briefly before I got the courage to try and learn something about the technical stuff. I was a "chick singer" and all. It seemed friendly and big and very well built . I wanted to make it breakfast.
Are the M216 mixers as cool? They seem smaller and are selling for like $200 on ebay. A 16 buss would be nice but oh well. We need like 16 to 24 inputs eventually... could we put 2 together? Does that work?
Anyway. help help.
